Topic: Making a stand alone driver disk for Vista

Hi AllI have been using DriverPacks for several years to slipstream the drivers for my XP install. Now I have a need to make a SAD for vista drivers. I am not quite sure how to get it to download the Vista drivers, all I see are the drivers for XP.

Re: Making a stand alone driver disk for Vista

you CAN'T use DriverPacks BASE to add the Vista drivers... you will have to do that manually.

You can use DriverPacks BASE to create the folder structure and extract the files you need. (Do this by selecting the smallest DriverPack we offer... CPU and selecting Method 1) (Hit slipstream and EXIT DriverPacks BASE)It does not matter that the CPU pack is for XP... Vista will simply ignore it.

Once you have created the SAD folder (with only the CPU pack) (and Exited DriverPacks BASE). Then MANUALLY download and MANUALLY extract the VISTA drivers into the SAD folder you created with BASE.

Well I just finished manually coping the driver packs over to the location that I told DPBase to create the SAD pack.It copied them all into a folder x386. Is this correct?I just burn this folder to DVD, correct?I am using a DVD-RW just in case of a fubar
